Help our Granny Uncles get a caravan & essentials
Please help us and our girls get a caravan and infrastructure for their Grandma and Uncles
On Friday the 8th of November our family and their community of Nymboida in Northern NSW were ravished by a fire that was hot, created its own weather system and was a force of nature but the brave locals and RFS battled it like real champions.
Dan's family had to take shelter under the Nymboida bridge with other friends and families just praying they would get through it.
Not many houses were saved and sadly Daniel's mum Christina and brothers Rory, Ben and Clint lost their family home.
A home that was built by Daniel and Cole (who also lost his house, sheds etc).
The community are beautiful and really coming together to build courage, support and eventually infrastructure.
The community are opening up their homes to people who now have nothing except the shirt on their back, just like our family.
We are trying to raise enough funds to purchase a caravan, tank/s, clothes, food, toiletries and even water to fill the tanks. As well as a bit of money to get back on their feet (roughly 20,000 but may be a bit more but this amount is an amazing start!)
After we have this money we will donate the remainder to the locals go fund me to help the community as a whole. (As a family we will be donating to that too)
We do not have any photos of Dan's mum's property yet as they only went up quickly with the RFS yesterday but they have lost the house, contents, water tanks, carport etc, so what was once lush rainforest and a beautiful family home is gone :'(
Thank you so much for reading this and even $2 or a price of a coffee or $10 donated means they can afford a bottle of water, t-shirt, lunch etc no amount is too little.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
The Clark Family
